DDR3 for sure even though the speed is less you get 8 gigs more which is an advantage. Even in many application 16GB performs better.

Don't use DDR3 on Skylake, which is the only architecture that UNOFFICIALLY supports it and DDR4 at the same time. 

Get the DDR4 kit for Skylake, DDR3 for Haswell/Haswell Refresh or lower.

Just go for DDR4, if your motherboard only has 2 slots get a single 8GB stick then you have the option to upgrade. You need to remember that when building a new PC always get the best SINGLE component that you can afford at that time. Then you can upgrade in the feature, and will never be stuck in the dark with the ability to upgrade.

DDR4 of course....

16GB DDR4, speed doesn't matter unless you have a Ryzen CPU

Do not use DDR3 on Kaby Lake. Get DDR4.

why? i get extra 8gb which can always help. i am not going to be doing and workstation styled work so ram speed is barely going to make any difference

The memory controller has troubles pushing the voltage that DDR3 requires, causing the chip to degrade faster than usual

I don't know either, I just know that those two don't go together, I don't know why.

Do you really need that extra 8GB? You will be better off with faster RAM, games benefit from it anyway (check the video above).
